Tonight’s session at AMPLIFY was all about building life skills and having fun while doing it. The young women kicked things off by planning their own meals and setting budgets, then headed straight to their own grocery shopping. They put their cooking skills into practice and created fajitas, stir-fry, pizzas, picky bits, and a dessert to finish! 🍕🌮
It was a great session for the group, they reflected on their spending, share key takeaways, and build real self-awareness around food and finance.

⭐️ Something new is coming! ⭐️

The Participation Platform is a four-year UK-wide programme led by NI Youth Forum in partnership with Leaders Unlocked and funded by The National Lottery Community Fund through the UK Fund.

The programme supports young people to take on meaningful leadership roles and influence governance. It will also help organisations strengthen how they involve young people on boards and in leadership roles. 🤝 🗣️ 💬

Young people are currently co-designing the project’s identity so keep an eye out for our new identity. 👀

Today with AMPLIFY they showed of their competitive side by bowling to celebrate everyone’s recent achievements, talking about future goals, job opportunities, and taking their next steps forward.
They then headed over to explore world food and wrapped up the day centered on positive self-talk, goals and spreading their good vibes all around. Congratulations AMPLIFY!✨🙌

Tonight at AMPLIFY, our young women’s group dove deep into the social action issues that matter most to their community. From sharing research insights to getting honest about their own journeys.

With results day tomorrow, they broke into groups to tackle the topic of how to best support students navigating the stress, anticipation, and emotions of receiving their results.

They reflected on their experiences and put together advice they wish they had heard for other students to read 😊
